Absolutely FABULOUS! We were warmly greeted at the door and escorted to a wonderful garden area near the bar for cocktails, which were top notch. Then downstairs for dinner which was the best we’ve had on Nevis!!

This is the newest gastronomic gem on Nevis. Started by the owner of Bananas, another great dining spot up in the hills on the island, the French country menu is nicely done. The paté was rich and flavorful, the beef carpaccio was terrific-and even better on the second visit! And the duck confit cassolet was the best I've ever had. Truly remarkable. The menu changes based on availability of ingredients, making each visit unique. Make this a dedicated stop on your visit to the island. You will not be disappointed! Cheers and bon apetit.
